"I’ll take the time to explain things to you,
and you’ll never be misled. That’s the kind of
caring you should expect from your doctor."

What makes your practice unique?

Love for my profession and empathy for my patients is what makes my practice unique.

What is the most important thing for your patients to know about you?

We will never recommend a procedure that is not right for you. Unfortunately, there is abundant misinformation about plastic surgery in the media, internet, and magazines, and we meet patients who believe in it. It is our job to educate them and dispel misinformed beliefs. Sometimes, patients hold on to their false beliefs and go somewhere else to pursue their own design for themselves, and unfortunately, they end up suffering harm. When they discover that they have made a mistake and come back to us for correction, sometimes the damage is irreversible and cannot be undone.

I want my potential patients to trust me and to not second-guess my recommendations, since they are based on their best interest, not mine. I will always guide you right. For me, my patients always come first.

What is your favorite thing about being a plastic surgeon?

Even when seeking the same operation, no two patients are alike in their outlook, thoughts, goals, and desires. As a plastic surgeon I feel like a designer of beautiful bodies, the result of which is a happy and confident human being. I simply dispense dreams. Call me a dream merchant.
